Good even fight

[007Fortis]

RIP Belak and Boogard!

[NotSince67]

Yeah, trippy. Died a couple months apart in the off-season from hell. RIP Boogy, Belak

[Ovechkin81]

Scary. Both these guys have passed away.

[imboredsoising]

RIP

[mad12b]

I hear you Don, Its the salary cap! No more goons. this sucks. take away all the fun

[malawri67]

Well they got Orr.Not bad an enforcer.

[beatle11]

I definitely miss him. I like Colton Orr but Belak was a great guy.

[Cornball]

I have so much respect for Belak. I love him. I honestly think he was excellent presence in Toronto. If not as a player on the ice, then at least as a figure in the dressing room and with the media.

[dandbradley]

Belak is slowly developing a cult following here in Nashville. Great guy for radio.

Had a friend of mine buy one of his game used sticks. Looked brand new.

[leaf16nut]

Belak is an all around amazing guy... He fights, hes a class act, good in the dressing room, and funny as hell...

One of the few I miss in TO... Ohh well times are changing, and so does the teams...

[silentghost23]

Belak has no talent and the NHL is changing so scrubs like Belak are becoming dinosaurs in the new NHL. No need for someone with no skill

[leafsaregod]

@silentghost23 Teams need more than just goal scorers.

[sparwood8]

Vancouver shoul dhave grabbed him. We need help on D with our injuries. Belak is A- OK

[Assassin4628]

@sparwood8 no kidding eh. Especially now, without Mitchell going into the second round!! We need him back something feirce!!!!!!

[TheRealOzzie234]

Dude, Belak does NOT suck!! He's a fucking OX!

[sparwood8]

@TheRealOzzie234

Wade Belak is awesome. Not a ton of skill, but hey, he can fill in fo ran injured D man, or a tired one, and he is OK up front on a 3 or 4 line. Agree100% with Grapes' comment. My two 'dream' enforcers are Belak and Chris Neil. I would LOVE to have them both here in Vancouver. Rypien and Hordi wouldn't have to do all the fighting. Ironically, Ryp could stand in with either one of those guys.

[sunzo]

Belak fucking sucks get over it. He plays like three minutes a game and gets into a fight... wow big fucking deal. If Don Cherry was a head coach his top line would be Belak, Boogard and Domi. Yeah he would get he him out of retirement

I like how he says we gave him away for nothing. Well what the fuck would anyone get for Belak? Maybe we should have traded him for ovechkin.

[sparwood8]

@sunzo Belak? Hey I will let you have either Matthew Schneider or Bernier for him.

You lack hockey savvy... maybe people savvy

[sparwood8]

OOPS I lack savvy. Bernier with 4 goals already

[bludika]

"never of gotten rid of" lol

[stanleyKubrik11]

can you beleive that he was 12TH OVERALL draft pick. Incredible draft bust

[Takhar7]

Wade Belak? Colton Orr? One and the same really, niether of them can play defense, and both of them are fighting goons that play a few minutes a game.

Wade was great in the room. Not sure how good Orr is but he sticks up for the boys, so respect.

[84hotshot84]

the Don of hockey.

[martymars]

I still can't believe the Leafs traded Belak... :(

[Propagandhi900]

he didn't say that at all.

[SweetTooth44]

man don cherrys voice cracks alot

[gretzkyjunior]

I miss Belak, he's beyond just a hockey player, he's a great positive influence on any team.

[Brentelec]

Belak is a good guy. he learned well from his teacher Tie Domi about protecting himself during the fight, its served him well.

[LACurls93]

BRING BACK WADE, he's cheap and can play. GET RID OF MAY, and all the other so called fighters the leafs have. half of Belak is better then all of them put together.

[asmba]

So true and instead of getting orr burke should have traded for belak maybe ORR FOR BELAK

[ThaOneChrisJONES]

@LACurls93 You've got Orr now so I think your set lol

[darren824]

well said Don

[begley09]

fuck off you faggot

[dub1681]

i miss belak as well....he was just a great guy, very well spoken, knew his role, and played his heart out.

[YoungNation21]

there both from stoon!

[billleeboy]

Don Cherrys the best!

[crazycanadiangoleafs]

I agree bring him home. Get him to teach are so-called fighters how to actually fight! haha
